There’s a catch though. Not all of you anxious gamers will be able to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered just as yet. As it turns out, Activision has only activated the servers for consoles, first. No PC players have reported of the servers having gone live just yet, which isn’t too surprising to be honest, given how seriously most publishers treat various digital unlocks on the platform. So For now, any access to the game’s multiplayer is exclusive to the subset of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One gamers alone.

A message from the “Dev Team” popping up after servers went down made it clear that the developer was aware of people playing and thus knowingly shut the servers down. However, it was also pretty clearly implied that the game’s servers would be going back up intermittently prior to the game’s official launch.
